Ear cleansers

[Giselle]

Long story short, I don't feel like shelling out twice what I would pay at the pet store for OtiRinse (which I can only get from the vet). There has GOT to be a similar product with similar ingredients and of the same quality.

Suggestions?

I'm not sure what OtiRinse has in it, but I will tell you what I started using recently and works really well. I use about 1/3-1/2 cup of warm water mixed with 10-12 drops of Lavender Oil. I mix it right before I use it in the ear. It was a reccomendation from the dogs' homeopathic vet after using regular ear cleaners for a long time and not seeing much result.

Jack's had a minor ear infection, so we brought home a bottle of Oti-rinse too. Yup, it's pricey. I don't really know what to do with it, either. Rinse out his ears after all the medication is gone? Do it periodically? Only after baths?
